Hacking Cant format to wbsf WD 640gb

[Golfje]

Hi guys

I have bought a western digital 640gb hdd for the usb loaders.... This drive has been working great with 84 games on it, but since past week the drive gives me a error ret-1 in the usb loader.

The drive does work on the pc but when i want to use WBSF manager to format it again, it gives me the message
can't format....

Whats going on ???

The harddrive is still working on the pc, but just cant format it to WBSF

Please help

I thought 500GB partitions were the limit.

Try reformatting the drive on your pc with any good HD utility (I use EASEUS Partition Manager, it's free), make sure it's formatted to FAT32 and as a Primary drive. Then try reformatting to WBFS with WBFS Manager, and if that doesn't work, plug it into your Wii and try formatting with USB Loader CFG.

I had to go through those steps to get my drive working. If that fails, then it might be an issue with your drive itself.

I thought 500GB partitions were the limit.

Actually I believe it's a 500 game limit due to the current limitations of the WBFS specifications. I've heard of people successfully using 1TB drives.
